Texas is a gigantic place, and that’s why it’s notable that honky-tonk purist Josh Ward has made a big name for himself there. The larger national country music audience is starting to take notice, too, after Ward’s latest album, More Than I Deserve, debuted at no. 15 on Billboard’s Heatseekers chart. The former bronc rider brings his rich baritone vocal to a Tampa country music stronghold this weekend.
Josh Ward. Fri. Aug. 16, 10 p.m. $10-$15. Dallas Bull, Tampa. dallasbull.com.
